Gas block mounted flip up sight? HELP!!!
« on: April 03, 2013, 09:53:36 PM »
so i'm looking for some irons for my new AR and i realized the railed gas block is like an 1/8 inch lower than the upper. ive heard there are sights specifically for uneven gas block mounting but also some people just use risers. the pair i want don't explicitly advertise as 'gas block sights' and i was wondering if you guys ever ran into such a problem? know where i can get a low pro riser for cheap? or a gas block mounted sight?



heres some pics so you guys understand how negligible the difference in height is.

X-Ring has a large selection of sights for this problem. Or change the Gas Block to a Rail Height one. X-Ring will install it for free.
